Children who get their own backpack usually wear it with pride – and that is exactly why it matters that it fits properly, is not too heavy and can withstand years of adventures. The Osprey Jet 18 was designed with exactly this in mind.

A children's backpack that grows with the child

With a volume of 18 litres, the Jet 18 is designed for children from around 8 years old. The adjustable back system allows the back length to be changed so that the backpack fits a growing child correctly every year – not just when it was bought. This extends the real lifespan of the backpack by several seasons, which is definitely worth noting with a quality piece.

The padded shoulder straps and back panel are shaped with a child’s body in mind, not just reduced adult versions. The result is a backpack that the child actually feels is comfortable, not just tolerable. Eighteen litres is enough for a lunch box, bottle, rain jacket, spare layer of clothing and binoculars – everything a full-day trip requires.

Practical details for trips and school events

The backpack is compatible with a hydration reservoir, the side mesh pockets easily hold bottles, and the front pocket is ideal for small items the child wants to keep close at hand. The sternum strap with safety whistle and reflective elements are small but practical details on group trips. The loop for attaching a cycling helmet is useful for combined trips where walking alternates with cycling.
